to adress the fozen feeding topic, this is for the people who have the issue with there snake possibly consuming there substraight,which if youre using the proper bedding then it shouldnt be a problem, i have herd stories that other keepers snakes have injested bedding thus "causing" death,
its not uncommen for substraight or bedding to cantain FM *foreign material* such as plant seeds, fungi spors and in one case i am rather familiar with, spider/fly eggs. so baking your bedding befor using it is very much encouraged.

Thank for your reply
Snakes generally don't go off to hide once they've got ahold of their prey item. Once they finish feeding then yes.
I too have heard these stories but a lot of times it is just assumptions and the snakes don't get taken to the vet to find out.
Spider eggs and fly eggs will not do any harm if ingested. They would get digested in a matter of time. No clue on how harmful fungal spors are.
